Of course, how you choose to label something makes a difference. I remember listening to adolescents, some quite old, who referred to stealing someone else's property as liberating the property. I remember a reviewer of President Obama's book describing his theft of ice cream from his employer as evidence of his "generosity".
So, renaming pirates as Robin Hoods might make some adolescents feel better about what they're doing. It doesn't alter the facts, though.
